How to use

To use the coffee maker, fill the bottom chamber with water up to the level of the safety valve. Insert the funnel filter and fill it with medium-fine ground coffee, leveling it off without tamping. Screw the upper chamber firmly onto the base. Place the unit on a low to medium heat source. As the water heats, pressure builds, forcing the water through the coffee grounds and into the upper collection chamber. Once the coffee has finished bubbling into the top, remove it from the heat immediately to prevent a burnt taste.

What to consider before purchase

• Check your stovetop type for compatibility
• Consider the capacity requirements for your household
• Ensure you have a medium-fine grind coffee available
• Note that manual cleaning is required as it is generally not dishwasher safe

Usage recommendations

For the best results, always use fresh, filtered water and high-quality coffee grounds. Keep the heat setting low to ensure a slow, even extraction, which prevents the coffee from becoming bitter. Clean the unit thoroughly with warm water after each use and ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling to maintain the integrity of the coffee maker.
